Early today I started webmin and was sopposed to update webmin which I did, to webmin 1.930.
Then it was impossible to start webmin.
I tried to remove webmin using mcc.
When I listed webmin I discovered that mcc show a padlock at the end of the line.
That looks like stop the possibility to remove webmin.
Anyone know what to do to remove webmin?

What do you actually want to do, get webmin to start or remove it ... to do what ?

The best is to start it but when I try to connect to it with "localhost:10000" it report "Connection failed".
But I want to remove webmin to reinstall webmin and that it maybe solv the problem.

The command to reinstall webmin would be as root

Code: Select all: urpmi --replacepkgs --replacefiles webmin

I can't reproduce your issue, got webmin installed and in MCC it shows with a normal green icon.

Also, what's the output as root of

Code: Select all: systemctl status webmin.service

You sure tried to connect to it with your browser but if the actual webmin service is not running it's obvious why you cannot connect ...

Code: Select all: [root@Humlan]# urpmi --replacepkgs --replacefiles webmin fel: Filen /var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Core Release (Installer).cz är mindre än 13 byte fel: Filen /var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Nonfree Release (Installer).cz är mindre än 13 byte Hittade paket(en) webmin-1.840-1.mga6.noarch, webmin-1.860-1.mga6.noarch, webmin-1.840-1.mga6.noarch, webmin-1.860-1.mga6.noarch i urpmi db, men inget är installerat [root@Humlan]#

[root@Humlan]#

mcc still shows webmin 1.930 with a padlock at the end of the line.
It is impossible to remove.

Please show the output again in plain english

Code: Select all: LC_ALL=C urpmi --replacepkgs --replacefiles webmin rpm -qa|grep -i webmin|sort urpmq --list-media active --list-url

Seems you also need to clean the cached repo hdlists /var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist* as there seems to have been an issue downloading them completely

Apart from that, as you can see in the systemctl status output, webmin has exited, so it's pretty obvious why you cannot connect:

How do I clean the cached repo?

It would be great, you put these walls of code between code-tags.
Following is a demo how one can accomplish such:

Demo: ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/mandriva/m ... e_tags.ogv

Your webmin package is an mga7 package, but you have only mga6 repos enabled. You cannot reinstall webmin this way, as it needs to be the same package&version in this case.
Try this way to update your repos and to remove webmin and install the mga6 version:

Code: Select all: urpmi.update -av rpm -e --nodeps webmin urpmi webmin

Thanks!

That works!

Thanks!
